SourceSupport sounds like a
really neat idea. The basic idea is that a group of people
interested in a software port of X to Y or a new feature to be added
vote on it. If a coder is interested they can take the
challenge and get paid by PayPal.
Not sure if it will take off or not but here’s a way to give people who
are relying on open source software to inspire people to add features
that the Open Source project designers cannot fulfill for some reason
or another.
